I’m a huge movie buff, but ever since I stopped working at a movie theater those many years ago, I don’t get to see nearly as many movies as I’d like. That’s why this is a Top 5 list instead of Top 10. Even at that, there were some movies that were incredibly difficult to [...]
Unfortunately, I can’t embed videos on this blog. Don’t really know why. So, here’s a few links to a few short video pieces I’ve done lately. Enjoy. SFX Catastrophes Bad Robot, the production team behind Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol released a handy little app called Action Movie and over the Christmas break I had a [...]
Hey Everybody, Today marks the launch of my new website, brockheasley.com. I’ve been heading towards this for a while now, even if I didn’t realize it. In this day and age, if you’re an author–you need a website. I always saw this site as my hub, but I just don’t think it makes such sense [...]
Here’s a fan art drawn around the time of Chapter One. I don’t think I’d even revealed what Spy Gal’s feet looked like yet! Check out more of Winston Rowntree’s amazing work on his surreal and epic webcomic, Subnormality!
I think what a person actively seeks out and watches on TV says a lot about them. It also says almost nothing at all as what shows some people choose to watch are just baffling to me. Either way, I’m always fascinated to learn how people spend their leisure time in front of the (used [...]
Hey all. I’m still getting used to blogging in two different places. Still trying to figure out what I should be posting here and what I should be posting on my new site, brockheasley.com. Would love to hear your suggestions. I’m really interested in creating more SuperFogeys-related blog content. What would you guys like to [...]
It was recently put across to me that Chapter One of The SuperFogeys, “Insane Romance From Hell,” is the number one barrier SF has for attracting new readers. I didn’t disagree. This same person told me that, in their opinion, SuperFogeys is easily as good if not better than anything DC or Marvel are putting [...]
Which is better for webcomics, long chapters or short chapters? I realize not all webcomics use the chapter system, but for those that do (like SuperFogeys), which is best? I think about this often. The average SuperFogeys chapter is about 30 strips, but some have been much shorter, and at least one is twice that [...]
Last week, the day after the big finale to Chapter 12 dropped, Marc and I recorded a podcast with Tom Racine, Tall Tale Radio how and he of the great, honey-dripped voice. We talked the reaction to Chapter 12, what’s coming next for the Fogeys (beware: minor spoilers), Captain Spectacular’s woes, and, just for kicks, [...]
How freakin’ cool is this? Big thanks to SuperFan Kelsi Swensen for making my inbox very, very happy over the weekend. Now I want to play the video game!
We are now officially in a brand new era of The SuperFogeys. Jerry and Spy Gal are married. I thought it might be fun to take a look back at their romance from Spy Gal’s perspective. How did she get here? Which interactions were key? Call this The Annotated SuperFogeys: Spy Gal’s Perspective. The first [...]
SuperFan Kristie Metler send me this fun little piece just a bit ago. Once in a while, she draws pictures of characters for her kids and her choice on this particular day was the Fogeys! I love it. There’s something really pure about drawing strictly for your kids. Thanks, Kristie! Would you like to do [...]
Over the weekend, SuperFogeys Origins artist Alex Deligiannis posted an art process blog at his site for the gorgeous two page story he drew up for me, When Dictator Tot Met Gene. If you’re like me, you’re a junkie for this sort of thing. Here’s a preview: “…[Brock] sent me a script for a two-page story, [...]
I know many of you were straining to see just what the heck was on the bulletin board in SF 390 – “Bubbles of Light 7.” A couple of you actually pretty much figured it out (kudos to YOU guys!), but for the rest of you I thought you might like to see it a [...]
Hey SuperFans, I don’t normally use this forum to express any political, religious or social views, but there’s a movement happening today to “spread the word to end the word”–the R-Word. You can click right here to take the pledge. I’ve also written a short blog explaining my feelings about the word and why it’s [...]
Hey everybody, I just wanted to give you a quick heads up that I actually produced some fan art–a rare, rare thing–for Denver Brubaker’s amazing superhero serial, Tales of The Checkered Man. If you’re not reading Tales of The Checkered Man then you’re missing out something fierce. It’s a funny, clever and gorgeous take on the [...]
This one takes me way back. Winston Rowntree is one of the most amazing, underknown webcomickers out there. You would do well to check out his always thought-provoking webcomic, Subnormality (warning: language). Thanks again, Winston!
The response to yesterday’s big SuperFogeys 400 has been terrific so far. As a thank you to everyone for sticking with us and being so supportive, Marc has crafted a huge wallpaper from the latest strip and it’s a beaut. Click on the image below to enlarge and download it for yourself. Enjoy!
Hey all, how’s it going? I’m writing this post 20 minutes before you all see the 101st strip by SuperFogeys Artist Marc Lapierre. That’s amazing. As most of you know, Marc saved SuperFogeys from certain doom after I decided to shut down the comic–and leave all storylines unfinished–about one year ago. Just to give you [...]
Hey everybody, just came across this excellent review of The SuperFogeys this week and, needless to say, Marc and I are extremely flattered by the high praise. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a proper review–and I think this is the first one since Marc took over art duties. Big thanks to Caitlin [...]
Hey everybody, this past weekend I spoke with Kurt Sasso over at TGT Media about all things SuperFogeys. This is one of the most in-depth interviews I’ve ever done. Kurt really let me have it with some deep thematic questions about the nature of growing old and how writing the SuperFogeys may be changing who [...]
My buddy Scott King runs an excellent webcomic by the name of Holiday Wars (along with two-time SuperFogeys Origins artist Michael Odom!) and he has something REALLY special lined up for the next three weeks that I thought you guys just had to know about. Here’s Scott: HOLIDAY WARS launches GIVEAWAY! To celebrate the launch of [...]
As I write this it’s just been revealed that Marvel’s THE AVENGERS has a set a new opening weekend box office record by a wiiiiiide margin. $200.3 million. Take that in. Not only is an Avengers movie actually real, it’s hit the zeitgeist. Well I guess so! The movie plays like gangbusters with an audience. [...]
What a great surprise this is! This is the first piece of fan art I’ve gotten for Dark Maiden and it’s beautiful and menacing. Big thanks to artist Margaret Racine for rendering her in such fine style. This isn’t Margaret’s first fan art rodeo. She also did the Thrice Evil up right a few months [...]
